The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  If you’re like most people and if you were asked “How soon do you quit?” you’d probably be inclined to not admit it if you were so inclined. This episode is obviously about not quitting before you create what you want in life. If we look at simple motivation we’ll discover and we have heard things like, “You have to keep your nose to the grindstone” but if that really worked then wouldn’t we all just keep our noses to the grindstone? Obviously, we don’t keep moving forward when things get tough, most of us just quit. When we’re talking about perseverance it comes down to a few things. In this episode, I talk about responsibility, self-integrity, resources, and resourcefulness. And, I talk a bit about the brain-based influences of following through and not quitting. The predominant themes in this call are resourcefulness and creativity. Meaning, we often quit because we lack resourcefulness and/or creativity. In simple terms, when we hit a wall, instead of “figuring it out” we lack the creativity to figure it out and most of us quit. And, then we wonder why we never have what we truly want in life. When we recognize that resourcefulness is one of the most powerful traits we can have and exhibit we can then make just about anything happen that we want to in life. I also hop over to intention, will, and making things happen in life instead of quitting. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  The bottom line is that if you don’t have something in life that you want then you are not being 100% responsible for making it happen and you’re not being resourceful enough to be responsible.

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  If you’re like most people into personal development, you’ve probably heard someone along the way say, “You get paid according to the value you create in the world.” I heard that many years ago and used to believe that if I wanted to become rich I needed to create more value in the world. You know, the old Zig Ziglar quote, “Help enough people get what they want and they’ll help you get what you want.” Over the years I’ve discovered that is only half of the equation. In this episode I talk about:[2:42] Why many people who create a lot of value in the world are broke[4:40] The reason the “social worker” mentality does not create business wealth[6:54] Why you have to couple prosperity consciousness with the value you create[12:25] Why contribution is more important than achievement[15:19] And, specifically, how you must first value the value you createIf you don’t value your own value, then it’s going to be hard to attract prosperity because you don’t value the very thing which is supposed to attract money to you. Value what you do and the world will respond to that value. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You have to value what you do. If you don’t value your own offering, no one else will.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim continues his deep dive into life wisdom from his mentor and real-life sorcerer, Don Javier. Building on part one, Jim shares four additional transformative insights—simple yet powerful truths to help you rise above the chaos of the external world and reclaim your inner authority.  This episode touches on how global events shape our thoughts, why all personal power is internal, how expansion dismantles worry, and why chasing approval robs us of self-worth. If you've ever felt powerless in the face of current events or unsure of your value, these teachings will give you a grounded and empowering perspective.  Tune in for practical wisdom you can implement today—and walk away with a clear sense of how to live from expansion, not fear.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Are You Letting the World Control You? (02:00) Jim breaks down how external events—like disasters, war, or politics—can hijack your inner peace, and why it’s essential to reclaim your power.  All Power Is Internal (06:16) Your life isn’t happening to you—it’s happening through you. Jim explores why success and failure begin inside, not in outside circumstances.  Expansion Helps You Let Go of Worry (12:33) Worry is contraction. Expansion is power. Learn how trusting the universe and growing spiritually neutralizes anxiety.  Seeking Approval Is a Trap (18:17) When you base your self-worth on others’ opinions, you lose touch with your inherent value. Jim explains how to shift back into self-sourced confidence.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Which of these four teachings resonated most with you? Whether it’s letting go of worry, reclaiming your internal power, or stepping away from external validation—choose one and commit to it. The world needs people who live from soul, not reaction. When you choose expansion over contraction, you become the grounded presence others can look to in uncertain times. Start there, and your transformation begins now.  Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  An altar is a powerful tool to have. I’ve had one for 25 years and in this episode, I share the basics with you, how I use my altar and what I have on it. Having an altar can be as simple or as elaborate you wish, but more than anything it’s a space for you to connect with the Divine, however, you define that in your life. The great thing about an altar is that you can collect tools for your altar that help you “receive more information,” gain clarity, find direction in life or simply put…help you get what you want in life.You might think this is a bunch of nonsense or it’s crazy but even Oprah used to have an “altar” in her apartment that she visited every morning. “Altar” sounds like such a religious word, but it’s not meant that way in this context. And, I mean if Oprah had one, and probably still does, there’s probably something good about having one. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Your altar is your conduit to connect and communicate with the universe.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim shares four powerful life principles passed down from his brother-in-law and mentor, Don Xavier, a real-life sorcerer. These wisdom nuggets, gathered from thousands of pages of notes, are meant to be quick, digestible insights that you can apply immediately for deep inner transformation. This is part one of a two-part series that goes straight to the heart of what it means to live as soul—not as ego, identity, or limitation.  From understanding how we define ourselves through our limitations, to healing the body through meditation and divine connection, Jim offers a rare glimpse into the energetic teachings that have shaped his own journey. These lessons aren’t just philosophical—they’re deeply practical for anyone wanting to live with greater health, clarity, and spiritual power.  Whether you're feeling stuck in old patterns or ready to step into your fullest potential, this episode will inspire you to unplug from self-sabotaging thoughts, reframe your health from the inside out, and awaken your connection to Source. Listen in and choose which of these four teachings you’re ready to master now.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Know Yourself by Your Limitations (03:00) We often define ourselves more easily by our limitations than our potential—this awareness can shift everything.  Unplug From Yourself (08:50) Jim shares Don Xavier’s wisdom about silencing the analytical mind and learning how to stop exhausting yourself with overthinking.  Your Body Can Handle Anything When It’s at 100% (14:45) From clean food to mental clarity, a fully functioning body-mind system can endure even nature’s harshest challenges.  Connect to the Divine, and Healing Happens Naturally (25:30) Jim explains why meditation and divine communion are more powerful than any external healing technique.  Choose Your Focus: Limitation or Liberation (28:45) Jim invites you to pick one of the four teachings and master it—because where your attention goes, transformation follows.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You don’t need dozens of spiritual tools to shift your life—just deep commitment to a single truth. Maybe it’s time to stop identifying with your limitations. Or to truly let go of the inner chatter that holds you back. Perhaps your next leap is treating your body as sacred or trusting in the healing power of divine connection. Wherever you are, choose one of the four teachings Jim shares and make it your own. That choice—made again and again—will transform your life from the inside out.  Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  How much thought have you really put into how powerful you are? Do you even see yourself that way or think of yourself that way? In reality, you are not all that powerful but you can command the power of the universe to work through you and you do that using your intention. And, when you do that, what I call synchronicities happen for you. In our 3D world, we see things happen that we intend or have been thinking about but we see or observe no 3D physical cause and we think “Wow, that’s freaky, how did that happen?” St. Germain said many years ago, “When humans understand how the universe works they will cease to believe in miracles.” We work, like it or not, by universal laws. I’m not a proponent or a fan of the commercialized Law of Attraction, however, it’s physics and a law of the universe which we humans have capitalized on so we (some) can make a buck. I often wish I could be like Tesla. He wanted to introduce free energy to the world and when he showed JP Morgan his creation and discoveries JP Morgan said, “Where do we put a meter on it?” Meaning, so that energy could be charged for. In the analogy I just gave you, I wish I could give or better help you realize the power of intention and what it can do in your life but until you agree to let go of your insistence in the dominance of a 3D reality, the power of intention will be hard for you to harness. In this episode, I share some of my personal stories about how I have used intention in my life and how you can too. It’s pure power and you have this power! Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  What do you intend to happen in your life? Mentioned Resources DR.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim explores what it really means to experience freedom and independence—not just in the external world, but within ourselves. Building on his previous discussion about “seniority,” he reveals how true liberation comes from recognizing your spiritual authority, not from wealth, status, or nationality. If you’ve been seeking more ease in your finances, health, or life path, Jim makes a compelling case that reclaiming your seniority is the missing key.  Diving deeper, Jim challenges cultural narratives around patriotism, belief systems, and identity that often mask as freedom but actually limit us. He unpacks how our upbringing and societal conditioning cause us to give away our power, and why managing your energy and attention is crucial for regaining it. With personal stories—including a raw account of his 39-month house build—and wisdom from his mentor Don Javier, this episode offers both spiritual insight and practical reflection on how to reclaim the independence we all crave.  This episode is your wake-up call to stop seeking freedom externally and start remembering who you already are: a powerful soul with built-in seniority. If you’re ready to step into true sovereignty, this is a must-listen.  What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Why We’re All Born With Seniority (02:49) You don’t have to earn freedom—you came into this life with cosmic power already built in.  How Socialization and Domestication Strip Our Power (05:46) From childhood conditioning to national identity, we unknowingly give away our spiritual authority.  Your Life is the Output of How You Manage Your Energy (09:11) Jim compares your life to a factory—what you create reflects how well you manage your seniority.  A Personal Lesson: When Chaos Hijacked Jim’s Power (11:59) Jim shares how his house-building process derailed his energy—and what brought him back on track.  Freedom Begins With Attention, Not Action (15:13) Managing your attention in the 3D world is the gateway to reclaiming inner power.  How Belief Systems and Patriotism Replace Seniority (21:04) Jim explains how societal labels and even religion can brand us, masking our true spiritual freedom.  A Spiritual Person Asks Nothing of No One (26:53) What Don Javier taught Jim about sovereignty, asking Source—not society—for support.  The Hidden Cost of Attachment (29:00) Freedom also means releasing the ego’s grip—because what you cling to, controls you.  Discovering Your True Power as Soul (32:00) Jim closes with a powerful invitation: Know yourself as soul, and you’ll know true freedom.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Your true independence isn’t found in your passport, your bank account, or your job title. It’s in your seniority—your deep knowing that you are soul, Source, and creator. When you stop letting beliefs, fears, and attachments define you, you’ll remember the truth: you are free because you are. Let go of the need to control, release the illusions of security, and return to the inner sovereignty that was never lost—only forgotten. Freedom isn’t out there. It’s already within you.  Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now⁠  Jim Rohn said, “Never start your day until you finish it on paper,” and I say, “Never start your day until you finish it in your mind”. I kept this episode short and simple and I talk about my morning routine.Most of us get “swept away” by the world the minute we open our eyes in the morning, and we lose ourselves in the world. In this episode I talk about:[3:12] How simple and powerful a morning routine can be[4:57] How I start my day[6:11] Where I start my day in my home[9:27] And, the power of setting your morning intent. I cannot stress enough the importance of setting your intent every morning and soon I’ll follow up with an episode on the Power of Intention. Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Never start your day until you have first finished it in your mind.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim shares an intimate and powerful conversation with Don Xavier, a sorcerer and spiritual teacher, about the concept of cosmic seniority. Through personal anecdotes and ancient wisdom, Jim explains that we are not just passive beings in a chaotic world—we are divine co-creators with the universe itself. Drawing from a dinner dialogue with Don avier, this episode explores the immense creative and healing power that lives within us, and how we unknowingly give it away to external forces like fear, ego, and the 3D world. Jim breaks down what it means to reclaim our seniority—the energetic authority we carry as conscious souls on this planet. He dives into how dis-ease begins in the mind, how modern medicine often strips us of our power, and why it’s vital to recognize that we are in charge of our reality. Whether you’re navigating a health crisis, financial difficulty, or spiritual confusion, this episode will remind you that you already have everything within you to transform your life—if you learn to manage your energy and remember who you truly are. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your purpose, your health, or your power—this episode is your call to remember. It’s time to stop giving your energy away and start living from your cosmic seniority. What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  Don Xavier on Disease and Divine Intelligence (03:00) Illness begins in the mind and manifests in the body—your health is a reflection of your harmony with the universe.  The Power of Seniority and Energetic Responsibility (10:00) Your energy is your power, and reclaiming it is the key to healing, creating, and living fully.  Why You Are on This Planet but Not of This Planet (13:30) Understanding your divine origin shifts how you approach life, fear, and your sense of belonging.  How Modern Medicine Can Strip Away Your Power (18:00) Jim shares how giving seniority to doctors and institutions can limit healing and keep us in “mediocrity.”  We’re Always Creating—Even as Newborns (16:30) You are a creator from birth, and your energy impacts others and yourself from the start.  Matter Creates Matter—And Why That’s Empowering (26:00) You can shape your physical reality when you consciously co-create with the universe through your energy.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You are not here to surrender your power to external forces—you are here to master it. The universe lives within you, in your organs, in your consciousness, and in your ability to choose. Every moment, you’re either evolving or devolving. The difference? Your awareness of your seniority. You are the artist of your life, painting with the brush of divine intelligence. So choose presence over panic, soul over struggle, and power over passivity. Life is not happening to you—it’s happening through you. Remember who you are.  Let’s Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
